They do not care about the customer very strict with policy
I rent from them often in which they do not care was 15 min late returning a vehicle ONE TIME was charged 155$ (50$ plus daily rate) RIDICULOUS! late fee after received a warning notification on the app about possibly being charged. Seemed like a warning but was automatically charged. Customer service acts nice but didnt help one bit after renting from them for more than a week. Customer service is terrible and just falls back on its policy and “you should have known that” because its written in the policy. They wont even let you speak to a manager. Very disappointed

Registration doesn’t work
Can't upload my identification documents. Have tried raising a ticket with support, all they do is take you through the faqs. There is obviously a bug, because the support and faqs tell you to register on desktop, clear cache, use different browsers. All don't work. Support on the phone don't answer it just hangs up.

You can’t even complete an inspection 🤡
The app suffers from quality problems. The current one is after taking photos during the interior inspection at the start of the trip, only the checkboxes are scrollable but you can't hit Next. It's totally infuriating. I had to force quit the app twice just to finish the inspection and start driving. Not the first app issue. But a death by tiny paper cuts like this one over the years.

Worst service/never trust
Cancelled when I reached to pickup the car telling me they can't do anything. Had to cancel my vacation plans as we couldn't reach the destination on time. Will never use this service

Bad business
The app is full of glitches, time shows only in central time zone, charge late return fee and full trip amount for a trip where I was locked out of the car for more than 30 minutes (of a 60 min trip). Cars stink and are ill maintained. If you're looking to book for more than 2-3 hours just do a regular rental like Enterprise.
